Tokyo, 1991: Starting as a bank clerk.

"It's too early to draw a final conclusion."

Keiko Miyazawa raised her eyes.

Kiryu Yaya continued:

"But judging from the borrowing structure of Rokko, the advance payment for tourism development, the scope of authorization in the letter of appointment, and the note left by your father, there is a high possibility that the main family shares have been involved."

Keiko Miyazawa's face paled even more.

After a long while, she asked in a low voice:

"So... what should I do next?"

Chapter 46 A Tricky Opponent

Kiryu Yaya tidied the documents aside.

"First, safeguard three things."

Which three items?

"First, the seal."

Kiryu Yaya said:

"The company seal, the bank seal, and the president's seal must never be given to your uncle or his people."

Keiko Miyazawa nodded.

"The company's seal is in the safe in my father's study. I have the key and the password."

"What about the printing industry in the banking sector?"

"It's in the vault in the president's office. It used to be jointly kept by my father and the secretary-general."

"President's seal?"

"Also in the secretary's office."

Kiryu Yaya let out a soft breath.

Fortunately.

At least the most crucial things haven't completely fallen into Miyazawa Hara's hands yet.

Second, sign.

"This letter of appointment cannot be signed."

"You cannot sign any document that you do not understand."

"Put away any documents that he says are just formalities, just going through the motions, or that you should sign them first and then deal with the rest. Don't process them on the spot."

Keiko Miyazawa listened attentively.

"Third, complete information."

Kiryu Yaya looked at her.

"Next, you need to obtain complete details about the borrowing and collateral."

“Especially internal funding for the Rokko Golf Development and Miyazawa Tourism Development, as well as any documents involving share guarantees or joint and several guarantees.”

"But remember, don't take risks to get the information."

"They've probably started paying attention to you now."

Keiko Miyazawa's fingers trembled slightly.

"It's already started?"

"Your coming to see me tonight is a risk in itself."

Kiryu Yaya said:

"If Miyazawa Hara is really making a move, he won't give you much time."

Keiko Miyazawa seemed to suddenly remember something and said softly:

"By the way, my uncle originally scheduled me to attend a briefing at the group's headquarters on Wednesday morning."

"It must be for this letter of appointment."

Kiryu Yaya nodded.

"If it's Wednesday, there's still more than a day left."

"Don't move around during this time."

"Don't go to the secretary's office to look through the documents anymore, and don't ask the lawyer separately."

"Hide the note your father left behind."

"Keep the letter of appointment safe as well."

"At Wednesday's meeting, you only need to do one thing."

"what?"

"Never sign anything."

Just as Keiko Miyazawa was about to speak, her cell phone, which was in her handbag, suddenly rang.

The two of them fell silent at the same time.

Keiko Miyazawa took out her phone.

"I am Miyazawa."

On the other end of the phone was the gentle voice of Miyazawa Hara's secretary, Koga Hirano.

"Miss, I apologize for disturbing you tonight."

Keiko Miyazawa's gaze tightened slightly.

"Mr. Koga?"

"Yes."

Secretary Koga's voice remained respectful.

"The executive director has made a last-minute decision to move the appointment letter briefing, originally scheduled for Wednesday morning, to 9:00 AM tomorrow."

"The location remains the eighth conference room at the group headquarters."

"The group's lawyers, financial officers, and several directors will be present."

"In addition, please make sure to bring your personal seal, as well as the relevant seals currently in your possession, so that you can complete the procedures if necessary."

Keiko Miyazawa's fingertips trembled instantly.

"Tomorrow morning?"

"Yes."

Secretary Koga said softly:

"The executive director said that the most important thing for the group right now is stability."

"Some things are better decided as soon as possible."

The phone hangs up.

Keiko Miyazawa held the phone, remaining motionless for a long time.

Kiryu Yaya pursed his lips.

It seems that Miyazawa Keiko's reaction at the bank today has aroused Miyazawa Hara's suspicion.

The enemy is far more formidable than imagined.

After the phone call ended, the table fell silent.

The piano music continued in the tea shop.

Keiko Miyazawa held her cell phone, her expression somewhat unpleasant.

She had considered the possibility that her uncle would pressure her.

But to her surprise, the other party wouldn't even give her a day.

Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock.

From now on, it's less than thirteen hours.

"Kiryu-kun..."

Keiko Miyazawa asked in a low voice:

What should we do now?

Kiryu Yaya did not answer immediately.

He quickly reorganized the documents on the table, and after confirming that nothing was missing, he pushed the letter of appointment, note, and photocopies back to Miyazawa Keiko.

Then he said seriously:
